Having identified prime franchise territories, based on local market conditions, Pro Golf is expanding across Europe and is searching for investors with passions for golf and success in business.

"When you make the decision to buy a Pro Golf franchise, you're buying a number of things: the tangible services and materials provided, as well as a number of vital intangibles that are unique to Pro Golf, and can make a big difference to your success in the golf industry," says President and CEO Brian Donnelly.

"Of these intangibles, the brand equity and consumer acceptance of a company that's been in business serving golfers' equipment needs for 43 years will have the greatest impact on your business. The name has respect among golf equipment, apparel and accessories vendors. It also has an established market position as the number one place to shop for service, selection and low price."

Pro Golf aims to be the leading retailer in the golf industry by dedicating itself to fostering the game among players of all skill levels and by making its stores the game improvement retail destination of choice worldwide.

Described as the oldest and largest 'golf only' franchise network in the world by Franchise Times, Pro Golf provides the complete franchise package. The business model includes access to decades of market-proven experience through the golf retail training programme, the buying power of a brand established worldwide, demographic and market area analysis, retail site location analysis, ongoing support from a team with 100 years of combined experience in the golf business, and marketing and sales promotion programmes.

"At Pro Golf we are absolutely committed to your success," concludes Donnelly. "Decades of market-proven experience are put at your disposal to ensure that your business is run with an understanding of the best practices and most innovative selling concepts in golf retailing."
